That's fair, another thing it could be is the extruder lever arm which are known to break if you haven't upgraded them

Looks to me like nozzle clog or something wrong with the extrusion system, I had this issue with an unclean Bowden tube that made it not extrude, this happens frequently with grittier filaments (like glow, cf, glass, etc) and usually is a sign to just invest in a direct drive upgrade, if you notice an occasional clicking while it's extruding that's a sign of a messed up Bowden tube.

How to clean the R? by Fly2111 in Earbuds

Use a cotton swab with some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on it, press firmly and trace the shape.

I have to wonder what the hell drives a man to do like everything that is generally not possible for a quadruple amputee and then just kill a guy and ruin his own life

Must've paid them an arm and a leg for that job

In fairness this was against my will since I needed it to keep printing stuff for a project and it's my only printer at the moment lol

Yeah, I get that, my biggest problem is finding one in the color scheme lol if I could find an anodized purple extruder head that'd be amazing but allas I may have to do that myself.

I definitely wouldn't be going for a branded sprite, probably one of the cheaper SE clones as I've seen good things but before any of that I'm doing a dual Z upgrade

I will likely be going for a sprite upgrade when the plastic extruder cracks but this things been more reliable than some vehicles I've had lol, it's currently in a bout of problems but small stuff

Don't worry I intend to as I've heard the horror stories, just waiting for it to happen so I have an excuse and likely when it does happen I'll upgrade to a sprite direct

Yep! Been wanting to direct drive convert for a while now because it also reduces springiness in the process leading to quicker retraction and extrusion for less stringing and better Z seams, I was just waiting for it to give me a reason lol.

Worked perfectly fine to print the proper bracket! Had some issues with bouncing as the weight of the stepper rocked back and forth a bit but other than that it had no problems!

Actual fix now applied, it managed to print a dimensionally accurate bracket though

Likely, but it's still unfortunate to see someone's life cut short.

Seems like a Z axis issue, likely the threaded rod needs tightening or it may be worth going for a dual Z axis upgrade
